  • A
    decreases with an increase in the frequency of the incident photon.
  • B
    increases with an increase in the frequency of the incident photon.
  • C
    does not depend on the frequency of the photon but depends only on the intensity of the incident light.
  • D
    depends on both the intensity and frequency of the incident radiation.
